Wow, its been almost two weeks since my last post. I apologize for my delinquency. Hopefully I can get back to at least a weekly entry. We will see. Anyway, I came across a very interesting article on the internet that I wanted to share with you guys. The article comes from the Barna Group website, which I have added to the link list on the sidebar. Barna is a Christian research and resource group that conducts surveys and collects statistics on issues relating to the Christian faith. If you want to read the article click on the following link: Americans Have Commitment Issues. I thought that this was an eye opening study that made me ask a lot of questions regarding my own commitment to God and his Kingdom (the Church). The key point of the article that really made me think was how soft most people's commitment to God is. Most people (myself) are willing to go to Church and do religious stuff but are they(me) really committed to knowing God, loving God, making Jesus Lord (master) of our life? Am I letting God transform me and change my character? Am I making every effort to be close to God? These are good questions to ask ourselves. I believe the last thing that we (I) want to become is just a church goer. Well, read the article and let me know what you think.
Also, I just wanted to share that I have been studying the book of Nehemiah in my quiet times. I am inspired by Nehemiah's concern for the people and his reliance on God through prayer. It convicts me to think about my prayer life when compared to that of Nehemiah. Just thought I would share that with you. Anyway, have a great finish to your week.
Peace,
Rob
